As part of a suite of images showing American advertising's global reach, there are brief images of sexualized children in TV ads.

About halfway through (~45 minutes) there's a slam cut to a moving train with loud music that counts as a jump scare.

A human corpse is burned on a funeral pyre though. It's obviously human and real.

There is, however, a shot (in the section called "Caught!" in the score) that gives the illusion of a plane plunging vertically downward into a skyscraper.

It is unclear as to whether or not they are unconscious, but there is a body being carried by two people up a hill while covered in mud. You don't see the body move at all, so it is unclear.

There are sections towards the end (~70 minutes onward) where multiple camera exposures make it look as if real people are moving through the real world like ghosts.
